Loved! Building Faith in God’s Purpose for You
August 31, 2025 I was a pretty well-behaved kid, at least I think so. But sometimes I got in trouble. Sometimes I didn’t do my chores.

July 20, 2025 Today we’re starting a brand new message series about the most misused verses of the Bible. They don’t mean what you might think.
